What is a Title Deed?

A Title Deed, officially known as a Deed of Transfer, is the legal document that records the ownership of immovable property in South Africa. It is registered at the Deeds Office and forms part of the official public record. The Title Deed contains important information including the property description (erf number, township, and extent), the registered owner's details, the purchase price at the time of transfer, and any restrictive conditions or servitudes that apply to the property. These conditions might limit what you can legally do with your property, such as building specifications, usage restrictions, or rights of way granted to neighbouring properties or municipalities.

Why Having an Informational Copy of Your Title Deed is Useful

An informational copy of your Title Deed allows you to quickly verify property details without needing to access the original document. This is particularly helpful when you need to confirm erf numbers or property descriptions, review restrictive conditions before planning renovations, check servitudes or rights registered against the property, verify ownership details for due diligence purposes, or prepare documentation for municipal submissions. Please note that this informational copy is marked "FOR INFORMATION ONLY" and is not a certified copy of the original document.

Title Deed and Building Alterations

Planning to make changes to your home? You'll likely need to reference your Title Deed when submitting applications for building alterations or renovations to the local municipality. The Title Deed contains restrictive conditions that confirm whether any planned construction complies with legal regulations and property restrictions. Having an informational copy on hand allows you to review these conditions before proceeding with your plans.
